Linux/Windows flame wars

[Amiduffer]

I had some trepidation about starting a topic like this, knowing you guys, but, its amusing in a way to see how little fighting over computers has changed.

I had posted a joking comment on a YouTube video which was comparing the more worthless eye candy features of Ubuntu and Windows7, suggesting that the title should reflect that fact, since for a more practical user of both like me, it wasn't a very useful video, at least as far as a real comparison would have been.

Needless to say, the attacks on me by the Windows fanboys is very nasty (big surprise). For all its shortcomings, I have to say that Ubuntu has given me MUCH less aggravation than Windows. I totally missed the whole Amiga/Atari flame war, but, this little episode reminds me of what folks have talked about, describing that time. 8-)

Windows and Ubuntu... what are those? Are missionaries teaching some African tribe how to place Windows in their huts or something?

:lol:

There's the thread, if you care to watch the "debate".

And I helped countless people to delete Ubuntu off their HDD cause they don't need it. Hahahhahah

Microsoft employee, eh?

Please try to explain why Lenucks has been stuck at the 1% market share mark for the past 2 decades. No Lenucks fanboi has been able to give a logical explanation to this question, seeing how Lenucks is FUCKING FREE??

And yet, I have the answer, a simple one word: SUCKS

Seems almost familiar:

Holy crap Karlos. That was priceless. :lol:

All that matters is that it function. So far, everyone in the office who has asked me to replace Windows with Ubuntu has been satisfied because it works. It plays videos, it has a functional word processor, and all the other basic functions that folks normally need computers for.

As much as I'd like to take credit for that illustration, I can't :lol:

BTW, if you liked that, you'll love this...

That's OK. I saw that picture earlier. As one who has only had practical experience with classic hardware and OS up to 3.9, I can only look with bemused detachment at the arguments between Morph/AROS/4.1 users.

There's the chance of snagging a powerMac G4 real cheap, so, I might get the chance at becoming a MorphOS fanboy.
